wavelab 6 not enough space for dithering

Every singly one I've ever DL'd.Thanks Jim, sorry but I expect some of that rubbish may have been mine :shut: Recording from turntable, and then doing it again from CD (again, with no musical signal of course)Ĭhecking the differences can be meaningfulĬheck out all the 24/96 vinyl transfers on D******d for an example of how to screw it up. Every singly one I've ever DL'd.Ok so, this is an interesting test too. A good cartridge, phono preamp and AD converter are required.Ĭheck out all the 24/96 vinyl transfers on D******d for an example of how to screw it up. Preserving it and capturing it with a digital recorder takes a very high precision analog connection. That (vinyl) quality can fall apart pretty quickly though if something goes wrong. the best 24/96 digital recordings is a debatable thing. The very best of the best all analog vinyl pressings vs. This will be magnitudes bigger than the digital 'noise floor'.Īudiophile vinyl on a nicely tunes system has the dynamic range and frequency range of DVD Audio (ie. It has to amplify that a lot, accurately and without letting noise in. That's why the phono preamp is so important (and expensive). The biggest noise you hear will be from the table. Jim do you know anything about the Cintronic Z2M I was given one and told it was a preamp but I can't work out how to use it and can find no on line manual The trick works but it is noise after all.Ah I thought you would be the man to answer Jim, I think with my set up I'll stick to 96/24 then thanks for your sage advice (as Always) The trick works but it is noise after all.ĭon't add dither noise when transferring vinyl (or any mastered source)! Only ever use dither when absolutely necessary (transferring a high res master to a lower res consumer format) and ONLY once.

Stuff like cartridge alignment, preamp quality, balanced connections from phono preamp to AD converter unit and so forth will make a much bigger difference.ĭon't add dither noise when transferring vinyl (or any mastered source)! Only ever use dither when absolutely necessary (transferring a high res master to a lower res consumer format) and ONLY once. You'd have to have a very very serious cartridge/table/preamp to hear what that might do for you.

Well, 16bit to 24bit is a huge leap in quality.Ĥ4.1/48K to 88.2/96K is the next big leap. For example, capturing your mix at 32 bit and sending it to the mastering house like that. 32 bit files are intended to capture processing at a higher bit depth. The point is, the best you can do is record all 24 bits. First, I'd guess you have 24 bit AD converters like everyone else (unless you have some custom made 32 bit converters which would cost about the same as a house).
